Hi Matthias,

Your upload of autoconf 2.71 seems to address the FTBFS for this package
(and maybe others too?).  When I wasn't able to reproduce the build
failure with the current packaged release of openjdk-11-jre-dcevm
(11.0.10+1), I got curious about whether something had changed with the
new source version to address the failure.  But 11.0.9+1 and 11.0.7+1
also build against experimental with autoconf (= 2.71-1).

Is it okay to close this bug, or should I reassign it to autoconf 2.70-1
and then mark it closed in 2.71-1?

Thank you,
tony
